A novel radiomics nomogram based on T2-sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolutions (SPACE) images for predicting cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops in Meniere ’s disease patients

ConclusionThe novel radiomics nomograms based on T2-SPACE images were successfully constructed to predict cochlear and vestibular EH in Meniere ’s disease. The models showed a solid and superior performance and may play an important role in the EH prediction.Clinical relevance statementWe constructed a novel radiomics nomogram, which can be a very useful tool for predicting cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops in Meniere ’s disease patients.Key Points•This is the first T2-SPACE-based nomogram to predict cochlear and vestibular endolymphatic hydrops.•The nomogram is of great value to patients who are unable to undergo delayed enhancement MRI scans.
